Restaurants in Rothenburg

Thanks to its popularity as a tourist destination, Rothenburg is
well supplied with dining options--everything from upscale
hotel dining rooms to moderately priced Greek, Italian, and Chinese restaurants.
There was even a McDonald's in the Obere Schmiedgasse the last time we checked (sorry--no drive-through
window).

The Mittermaier
Restaurant and Hotel offers a modern, light style of Franconian cuisine that
makes use of fish and other local ingredients. The presentation is as
imaginative as the cooking, and the cooking is nothing short of superb.

The Hotel Restaurant Eisenhut
has an excellent dining room. In summer, the hotel's Löwenbräu
beer garden offers barbecued meats, Franconian specialties, and snacks outdoors.
One-, two-, and three-night packages include
one or more dinners and the hotel's first-rate breakfast buffet.

The
Altfrankische Weinstube is one of the coziest and friendliest places in
town. Prices are moderate, and you can order a full meal or traditional German
snacks to go with the local wines (which are available by the glass).

If you're homesick for nachos, chili, or chicken wings, head for
the Molkerei Bistro Musikcafé,
which also has sandwiches, Schnitzel, spaghetti, and billiards or darts
to keep you occupied while you're waiting for your order.

a tax-free
tourist car lease can be cheaper than renting
